I wake up every morning and think 'today's the day 
That takes this repetition and throws it all away' 
I stumble to the toilet then the kitchen for some food 
I cannot do without it but it's what I always do 
Here's the next door neighbour discarding his T.V. 
No more life in two dimensions 
Less then two weeks later his face is like a screen 
And now he's got a bigger one - Habit retention 
It's a habit 
Well I had it 
And then I lost it 
And now I want it back again 
Manning the machinery and dreaming of the day 
He'll get to see some scenery and have a holiday 
And now he's won the lottery, he'll never work again 
Unless of course they ask him back, the cycle never ends 
It's a habit 
Well I had it 
And then I lost it 
And now I want it back again 
There's people out there travelling so fast it's just insane 
Always rushing to get back there 
Home is where the car is parked and then it's off again 
The fear of immobility? But you're just sat there! 
I want to throw it all away 
I want to throw it all away 
I want to throw it all away 
I want to throw it all away 
And now I want it back again 
Now he wants it back again 
You can't have it back again, no no no 
Habit is invisible until it falls apart 
Left clutching for security and groping in the dark 
What do we relying on so much that we get bored 
With having it, but losing it will make us need it more? 
I'm gonna throw it all away 
I'm gonna do something today 
Something that I haven't done before, it 
Could be almost anything 
I don't want to make a habit of it 
It's a habit 
Well I had it 
And then I lost it 
And now I want it back again
